The outer frame is formed in chrome-finished aluminum, its smooth, reflective surface creating a clean, continuous ring. Set within it, a richly colored inner border draws the eye inward—hand-set ceramic and glass tesserae arranged in a rhythmic mosaic of deep reds, warm golds, and darker tonal accents. The surface shifts subtly with the light, each piece catching and holding it differently.

There is a strong sense of presence despite its scale. Hung on a wall, it acts as both mirror and object—introducing reflection, color, and structure at once. A piece that holds its own, whether anchoring a space or adding a point of focus within it.

Condition: Great vintage condition. The chrome frame shows a soft, natural patina, with minor surface wear, scuffs and scratches, consistent with age and use. Hanging hardware is present on the reverse. Signed "Clement." See less
